Hey Everyone! Sorry for not posting in a while. And Sorry for leaving everyone on a cliff hanger. Although, How many of you actually though she was dead?

I really want to thank everyone for writing reviews I love it everytime i get a new review. It makes my day. I've read stories where people have said that they won't post a new chapter until they get so many new reviews, and I don't want to ever be one of those people to practically force their readers to review.

I may not post every week any more, and i'm very sorry for that, abut I can't keep it up. I will try and post whenever I have free time. But to be honest I don't feel like it sometime. Just don't feel up to it anymore. Between school and stuff with family it's too overwhelming. I do promise that I won't give it up. I'm going to continue writing on it.

I do want to say one thing. HOLY CRAP GUYS! WE'VE REACHED 20 CHAPTERS! Thank you again for all that you have done. I appreciate it.

This Town- Niall Horan

Please Read, Review, And most of all, Enjoy.


It was cold. And wet. Very Cold. Very Wet.

What was Going on?

Arms? Yup. Still there.

Legs? Hurts like hell, but still there

Fingers? Frozen, but still attached.

Toes? wiggle able. Still there.

Head? Gone.

Maya Elizabeth Queen sat up quickly.

Wait? What?

Head? Foggy. Still attached.

Okay...

The young girl looked around.

Water. Everywhere.

"Please don't tell me i'm 70 years in the future." She mumbled, numbly standing up, giving both legs a nice kick.

The river. In the middle of Winter. Fabulous.

It wasn't night anymore. Sun low in the sky, climbing up higher. Early Morning.

Her brain was slow as she focused on what happened.

Night time. Pink Jacket. Car jacker. Choking her. Her family.

Her family! THEA!

Her hands went to her ear, where her com usually was. Gone. Probably washed away.

Her phone! She pat her thigh, pulling out her phone.

And... water damaged.

Maya threw the phone towards the shore with an irate scream. No satisfaction in the resounding thump when it made contact with the snow dusted sand.

She dragged her nearly paralyzed legs up to her phone, fumbling with it before shoving it into her pocket, grumbling.

She still had her mask on. Goggles hanging around her neck. hair, out of the braid, but pulled to the side.

She was miles away from the glades. Miles from where she last remembered. How did she- Right. The car jacker. He dumped her. Must've thought she was dead.

Maya shivered. No, more like trembled. She was soaked. With cold water. Freezing cold water. And the wind blew, snow drifted down. In an almost serene way. If only Maya was in the mood to appreciate it.


She was literally in fear. Her fingers, which stuck out of her finger-less gloves were pale, while her tips, and under her fingernails were tinted blue. And at first she ignored the pins and needles, but as she walked through the city it steadily became worse. Nearly making her sick from the pain.

The young girl was tired. She kept on tripping. Stumbling. Her ears muffled every sound she heard. If walking was hard, climbing into the second story window of her 'lair' was near impossible. But after multiple attempts and falls she collapsed into the hallway and dragged her self into the elevator where she rode up to the top.

Maya almost expected Thea to be there. Pacing with worry. Yelling at her. But it was empty. Silent. Except for the low hum of the elevator, and the calm clicking of the computers. She tore off her shirt, and dropped it to the ground with a schlop and pulled on the pink jacket that she had once called horrendous.

Her pants came off much like the shirt, and pulled on her back up sweats that she had left at the lair for emergencies. If this wasn't and emergency, she didn't know what was.

The blonde dropped into her chair with a sigh. Pieces of her coms flew to the ground, and although she planned on ignoring them she had to stop and look at the fully functional Com that slid across the floor.

Rolling her eyes, she dropped to the ground and crawled across the floor, curling into a ball once she reached it.

What station was Thea on? 4? 5? Maybe 6? Maya flipped through the different settings, croaking out a "Thea?" Not even sure that her sister would even be on the coms. It may be long forgotten in her worry. How Ironic.

1-4 was as silent as the Hill(Which frankly wasn't very silent at all, but sounded nice as an idiom) 5 had static, and 7, well 7 had a "Hello?" in response.

"Thea?" Maya croaked out again.

The line went silent, and just as she was about to change the Channel she had a reply.

"Maya?"

The young girl perked up. "Thea. Help." She whispered. "I don't know how long i can stand this."

But the person on the line didn't exactly sound like her sister, but was frantic anyways. Who else could it be?

"Maya? This is Felicity. Where are you?" Oh... That's who it could be.

"Lissy? I'm at 8539 R-Redb-burn road. Latter." She stuttered out. Her shaking turning into a near convulsion.

"C-call Tee. N-nest. Please call. Bl'nkts." Her breathing falling shallow.

"Maya. Hang on. I'm on my way. Hang on okay?" The faint sound of car keys and a car door fell in the back ground of the call.

"Call Tee. Pl'se. H-Hurry." Once again her vision faded, the pain in her limbs disappearing, and with one final "Pl'se Hurry." she succumbed to the darkness.


Felicity sped down the road, breaking several laws on her way. "Maya?" And yelled into the com "Maya?" No answer.

"Damn it!" She shouted.

What could have happened to the young girl? What couldn't she stand?

'Call Tee,' She repeated multiple times, 'Call Tee.'

"Thea? This is Felicity. I talked to Maya." From there She began telling her what the 15 year old said.

"I'm on your road. Grab several blankets."


It was a good thing that she had called the Queen. Without her help she wouldn't have found the place, nor would have been able to get into it.

"Maya calls this place the nest." Thea explained as they rode up the elevator to the top floor, blankets in hand.

"You know, because of the Spar-." She stopped talking mid sentence as she saw the pale young girl on the floor, convulsing, her breaths shallow.

"Maya!" The two girls ran towards the 15 year old, discarding the blankets on the way.

"Maya! C'mon. Wake up." Thea tapped her cheek.

Turning to Felicity she said "She's freezing. Grab one of the blankets"


It was weird. Maya was cold, yet warm. Her limbs still stung, but in a numb burning way. She no longer trembled, but simply shivered.

The lighting was no longer the artificial fluorescent bulbs, but a soft natural light of felicity's apartment. The tan walls glowing in the afternoon light."Lissy? Tee?" She mumbled.

"Hey Sis." Thea whispered, running her hand through Mayas damp hair.

"How are you feeling?" Felicity asked.

"Hurts." she grunted, pulling the blankets tighter around her.

"Maya, what happened Last night?" The young girl glanced over at Felicity before looking back at Thea.

"Tried stopping a car jacking. The guy started choking me. I guess i blacked out. I woke up some where in the river. Com gone. Phone Flooded. I think he though i was dead." She shuddered out a breath, blinking back tears.

Thea wrapped her arms around her younger sister, pulling her flush against her.

"You're still cold." She frowned.

"I feel really hot." Maya whispered.

"You have hypothermia. Pretty bad I might add. Based on what you said your body was exposed to the cold for over 10 hours. I'm honestly surprised you're not dead. I mean, when we go to you your breathing was really slow. If we were any later-" Felicity snapped her mouth shut, not wanting to even think of the possibilities. She placed a heating pad on the younger girls lap. "It's just a good thing we got there on time."

Maya moaned and pushed away from her sister, trying to push the blankets off of her.

"Noo" She groaned, fighting the two older girls. "It's hot." She weakly pushed their hands away.

"Maya! Stop fighting us." Thea snapped "Did you not hear Felicity? You have hypothermia. We almost lost you. Again! You can't do that to us. It would tear the family apart. So sit still and let us help you!"

The 15 year old stopped moving and stared up at her sister. She's never heard her yell before. Especially at her. She'd be lying if she said she was scared, but under stood where she was getting at.

Maya looked away and silently laid back down, facing the back of the couch. If she just went back to sleep then she might get better. Who knows, this all could have been a bad dream.

"I'm sorry." She whispered before closing her eyes and falling into a fitful sleep.


The sun was going down by the time that Maya woke back up.

It wasn't her own accord that woke her up. If she had her way she'd still be asleep, but the pins and needles were back in her legs, and this time, her arms too.

She blinked a couple times, the bright flashing lights from the tv coming into view.

"How are you feeling sis?" Thea spoke from the other end of the couch.

The 15 year old shrugged, "Still Hurts." She croaked out.

"Felicity said that None of our medicine can help with your pain."

She turned her head to look at the tv where an add on huggies diapers played. "Is Kay. Use su it." (It's Okay. Used to it.)

"Wheres lissy?" She looked around.

"Out with Ollie." Thea responded from the kitchen. "Told her that we knew who he was." She handed her sister a glass of water who greedily gulped it down.

"She said she'll be back around 1 or 2. And we're welcome to stay."

Maya slowly nodded. Her thinking process was a little slowed, but she under stood. "Wouldn't Wanna 'Splain to Mum why I have Hypothermia."

"Exactly."

The two sat in silence, leaning against each other, eyes watching the tv.

"Are you hungry Mi?" Thea said glancing over at rhe younger.

It took Maya a minute to process how she felt before nodding yes. She was hungry. After all, she hadn't eaten since the night before.

It seemed like seconds had passed when the door bell rang and Chinese food was placed in front the the young girl. "Maya. Wake up."

Ahh... okay. That's why it seemed so short. She fell asleep. Again.

"I got you some egg drop soup. I remember that you liked it." Maya nodded gratefully, and took the bowl from her sister.

Back before Maya would talk to any one and before she would leave the castle they enjoyed a meal of Chinese food, consisting of every type of chicken they sold. Of course so maya could get a taste of every one.

They dug into their food and flipped the channel around until the well dressed, high cheekboned Benyadryl Cumbersome popped up on the screen.

"Wait!" Maya cried, quickly swallowing her chow mein "Sherlock."

According to Thea she had never seen the episodes, but luckily it was episode 1 of the first series. But she was instantly hooked.

And that's how Felicity found them as she walked into her front door. The remains of their Chinese dinner on the coffee table in front of them. Maya, asleep again, she head in Thea's lap. And Thea, well she stared wide eyed at the Tv.

'Leave a note When?' John Watson shaky voice asked as he looked up at his friend who stood on the edge of a building.

'Good Bye John.' Sherlock whispered, voice trembling as he stared at his Best Friend who, at that moment resembled an unrecognizable ant.

John Shook his head 'No. Don't.' He said into the phone. His voice thick with unshed tears, just waiting to fall.

Sherlock gazed down at his friend for several seconds, lowered his arm and dropped the phone onto the roof, gazing ahead of himself.

John lowered his own phone and scream upwards at his friend rapidly falling.

' No! SHERLOCK!'

A tear dripped from Thea's face as she mumbled "No." over and over again. Not noticing the Older blondes presence in the room.

"I see Maya got you into Sherlock." Thea jumped was whipped her head around. "Oh God..." She held her hand on her chest. "You scared me."

Felicity chuckled and looked at the youngest girl who blearily blinked. "Wha?" She looked at Thea's tear stained face. And felicity amused one. At first she was confused, but behind her John Watson begged Sherlock not to be dead, and it all clicked. She chuckled softly and tiredly smiled at Felicity. "He He. Sherlock died. How are you doing?" But before She even got an answer she was asleep again.


What did you guys think? Is it okay?

I put some depressing Sherlock Quotes in this. I just had to.

By the way... Have you guys listened it Niall Horans single This Town? Absolutely love it. What's funny is that I sing it with his accent, although i have a different accent. I try (Not on purpose) to copy his accent.

Author Funfact. I have Had Hypothermia several times in my 19 years. I had a moderate case of it one time. Dunno how or why, but I was asleep outside in the middle of winter (Was probably like 9). I woke up in the morning and i was super pale. I couldn't feel my toes or fingers, and my hands were really red, but my fingers were super pale. Can't remember how, but I wound up at the hospital. I slept a lot during those 2 or 3 days. and my legs kept on tingling like needles and it hurt, but wouldn't hurt and it was off and on.

So basically I based Mayas hypothermia on what I remember from what happened to me.
